THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
200 Years (Meet to Split)

Hearing that, everyone who was there started whispering to each other. Seeing this scene, Elder Menzy became even more furious.

"What do you mean?!"

"I mean?!"

"That's how you lick your tongue!"

"Silly! All this time I respect you as a teacher and an elder here. But, is it worth someone who is highly respected by his cunning playing behind, destroying the dreams of his own student!"

"How dare you accuse me of that!"

"Enough!"

Hearing the King shout, the two instantly fell silent for a moment. The king was very upset with Lili. But, in order to keep his dignity in front of everyone, the King began to ask Lili.

"Lili, you said that... Do you have any evidence?!"

Lili had expected that this would happen to her. The king asked him to show him proof. Clearly, Lili could not show such evidence. Come to think of it, one piece of evidence is just the man. The man is clearly the key witness evidence of all this. But does he want to help her? Lili was wrestling with her thoughts at this moment.

"Why are you quiet, Lili? I asked again! Do you have any evidence?"

"Please, Your Majesty, I have no proof. Because at the time of the incident, I was on my way home and was suddenly attacked by a horde of unknown people using a black veil."

"Humph, you're just quibbling!"

"Enough Elder Menzy! I didn't tell you to raise your voice!"

"I'm sorry for Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I think we should investigate this matter."

"What you say is true my wife. Alright. For this matter, I will order the royal court judge to investigate it. And according to my promise, Elder Menzy. And for you, Lili."

Hearing the King calling her name, Lili slowly ventured herself to raise her face and looked at the King sitting in front of her accompanied by the empress.

"Tomorrow, you meet me at the palace. Bring this token and show it to the palace gatekeeper" the King said as he threw the token towards Lili. Quickly, Lili caught him.

After he received the token, Lili also saluted the King and empress. Seeing this the King and the empress got up from their seats and walked away from the place. Seeing the King and the empress leave, everyone who was here, simultaneously paid their respects to the two. The two made their way to the palace's horse carriage parked right in front of them. When the queen was about to get on the train, she looked back. His gaze was fixed on Lili who was also staring at him. Suddenly his heart was beating. His eyes were wide open, as if he could not believe what he saw. He saw Lili who was also looking at him, turning into the figure of the man he knew before. He blinked his eyes while shaking his head, hoping it was just his hallucination. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw the figure behind him was still a little girl who smiled sweetly at him.

"It turns out it's just my hallucination." Inner empress."

Seeing her acting strange, the king rebuked her.

"What's up?!"

"Nothing."

The queen entered the chariot followed by the king behind her. The palace horse carriage began to move forward leaving the place. It was followed by a second chariot in which the crown prince and princess Cariz were present. Seeing that the palace carriage had passed, Lili smiled coldly. The highlight of his gentle eyes suddenly turned sharp and filled with anger. Like the gaze of a hunter watching his prey from a distance.

In the Horse-Cart

The Empress was still pensive considering the incident. He seemed to not believe what he saw. This incident made his heart become riled up. Moreover the king asked Lili to come to the palace tomorrow morning. This made him even more unsettled. Seeing his wife restless, the king held his wife's hand. Seeing the King holding her hand, the empress pulled her hand back. Seeing this strange attitude of his wife, the king sighed and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"There's nothing."

"really? Then why did you look so agitated?"

"No."

"Humph, you think I'm stupid?!"

"What do you mean?"

"Surely because that little girl isn't, that's why you're acting cold like this to me?!"

"Little girl? You mean Lili?"

"Perhaps during those three days of being in the forest of death, he treated his injuries and tried to recover his damaged meridians."

"Omong empty! There was not a single doctor in this world who was able to restore the destroyed meridians! Unless..."

"Except what?"

"Unless he uses the power of black magic to get in and out of the death forest safely."

"Your Majesty, please take care of how you speak."

"Why? You seem to be offended by my words? No, I don't think that's the only thing that offends you."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you still thinking about your ex-husband?!"

"..."

Hearing the king allude to it, the empress was silent. He did not dare to deny this. It is true, she still can not forget her ex-husband who has left her and her only child, the fruit of her love with her ex-husband who does not know how she is now. Is he alive or dead? Or did he remarry the woman he met there? It is very hard to remember that. If it were not for his father's insistence, he would not have married the sister of his ex-husband. She prefers to raise her own child, while waiting for her husband's return. She even became a young widow with her one-year-old son. But destiny says something else. He was forced to accept the proposal of the king who used to be his sister-in-law. Now he had to swallow a bitter pill in his life. Married to his own sister-in-law. And that's not a good thing for him. He realized that something forced by the results would not end happily.

"Humph, it turns out to be true. You still think of him! How good is he compared to me?!"

"What did you say? Isn't he your own brother?! Why are you that big on him?!"

"Sister? I don't remember ever having a sister like her?!"

"Plac!!!"

Furious, the empress slapped the king very hard. He slapped her with an expression of mounting anger. For some reason, her heart exploded as if she did not accept her ex-husband being insulted by her own sister, who is now her husband. There was regret in his heart that would never come back. If you know that this marriage only tortures him, it is better not to marry again. The king also rubbed his red cheeks and there was a mark of the five fingers of the empress' hand there. With a humbling smile, the king ridiculed him.

"Huh, this sign of your love is amazing!" said the King while staring intently at the empress.

Seeing the look of the king's eyes filled with anger, the empress turned to avert her eyes. He knew exactly what the anger of the man sitting next to him was like now.

"You're lucky right now. I'm in a good mood! But there's no next time!"

His words seemed to threaten him. As if he had expected it from the beginning, the empress chose to remain silent all the way up to the palace. So too did the king who chose to be silent. The two did not talk to each other throughout the journey. On the other hand, everyone who was in the forest edge area of death, gradually went one by one leaving Lili and her family. Not wanting to be left behind, Lili and her family left the place. Lili walked the very back among them. Just a few steps away, Lili looked back. He looked towards the forest of death. The forest that everyone in this country fears is just a figment. The Deathly Forest was not as scary as it was talked about. The forest of death was the most beautiful forest he had ever seen as a child. As a child, Lili often dreamed that she was in a dark forest. And it turned out that the forest was the forest of death that he had entered at this time. The forest has an owner. And the owner is none other than the spirit of the man who is in his body. A man's voice from behind greeted him. His greeting broke his daydream.

"Lily."

"Oh, it's you."

"Why are you looking at the forest? Are you gonna live there?"

"You're a fool. Who wants to live there!"

"It turns out you're a thug girl huh?!"

"Well?!"

"Even you dare to speak harshly to this prince!"

"Ah, sorry prince. Forgiver. Forgive me prince. Don't chop my head off!"

Hearing that, the spirit laughed out loud. He felt Lili's behavior was very funny. Seeing the spirit laughing out loud, Lili smiled.

"Why are you smiling?!"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry if I was presumptuous. You must have heard it. Are you ready to go to the palace?!"

"Of course I'm ready. It's time to meet up to part ways. Please help."

"Emm." said Lili while nodding her head.

A strong wind blew away some of the dry leaves that were falling around the two of them and flew towards the sky. Regret in the past will not be repeated. Tomorrow is a step to go out of the past and start embracing the future.
